Rick Perry is a douche. He is absolutely being an opportunist here, positioning himself to the right of KB Hutchison, whom he will label as Kay "Bailout" Hutchison, a "beltway insider" who has lost touch with Texan values.

The best I can say about him is that he is better than Palin.

LOL. Can't believe you bought into the conspiracy about the thousand-foot width and about the North American Union. The NAFTA superhighway is just augmenting the existing I-35 that runs from Minnesota to Texas.

We don't need a NAU, but we certainly don't need backwards-thinking, anti-commerce Luddites.

I love it. The Republican party is so lost it believes that "moving to the right" means embracing radical groups, defending the KKK, hinting at secession, etc. Keep up the good work.

What is it about these issues that make otherwise rational people go crazy?

That's what people said about the EU 30 years ago too. Now you have one country after another rejecting the EU constitution and standing up for their sovereignty yet the elites are implementing it anyway.

Read the first two lines. Up to 1200 feet wide. Didn't know wikipedia was involved in the conspiracy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Texas_Corridor

Anyway, on further reading, it looks like it's dead. For now, anyway.

I'm continually amazed at how such educated, well spoken, clever, smart, people can be so clueless.

Oh wait, that's the plan. We're already wiping our ass with the constitution anyway, so no biggie.

You can have borders and trade at the same time.
